2009 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · NL09 ABK

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, demonstrating a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 139,714 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing mechanical requirements before they escalate into MOT failures. At 17 years old, the 139,714 recorded miles average to approximately 8,218 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family saloon of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,863 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or internal corrosion in older components. While the recent history is clean, the failure on March 18, 2024 at 129,316 miles indicates a specific mechanical issue required immediate rectification to achieve a pass. Since the record does not detail the exact cause of that failure, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Ford Mondeo wear points such as suspension bushes and brake caliper condition. Given the age of the vehicle, particular attention must also be paid to structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are the most likely areas for hidden corrosion to manifest regardless of a clean MOT history.
